The Mayor Foundation is focused on supporting public, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational initiatives exclusively within Mayes County, Oklahoma, and Grayson County, Texas. Its aim is to contribute to the development and betterment of these communities in line with the legacy of its founder, Oliver Dewey “Jock” Mayor.
The Oliver Dewey Mayor Foundation Grant prioritizes investments in institutions, organizations, and agencies located within Mayes County, Oklahoma, and Grayson County, Texas. While primarily focused on these regions, the grant also considers funding for external organizations proposing projects that promise significant benefits for the inhabitants of these two counties. The grant supports a wide range of charitable activities, with a strong preference for initiatives that have a direct impact on the local community’s welfare and development.
The Board of Governors favors proposals that demonstrate the ability to secure matching funds. They may also encourage organizations to embark on fundraising efforts by offering to match the funds they successfully raise.
